The last of yesterday's rain is slowly clearing away from northeast England and eastern Scotland this morning, and should be clear of the mainland by early afternoon. Meanwhile, heavy and thundery showers towards the southwest will spread their way into other southern and western areas.
Low pressure centred over southwest Ireland continues to be the driving force of our weather, although it is filling slowly. There have been a number of heavy showers over Ireland, Wales and southwest England overnight, and these will ease their way further north and east today. With lighter winds, these showers aren't moving very quickly, and have the potential to give some quite large rainfall totals in places. Having said that, many central, eastern and northern areas will see a fair amount of dry and bright weather once this morning's rain has gone, with only a few scattered showers.
Showers will tend to die out over inland areas tonight, but the warm sea's will encourage them to keep going around some coastal areas with some further pretty heavy ones likely.
This takes us into a showery day on Friday, although there will be some sunny spells around, and then its all eyes towards the southwest as the next area of rain looks set to move in later in the day. Saturday isn't looking too good at the moment with plenty of rain and brisk winds around, but hopefully Sunday will see some sunshine breaking through between the showers.
